Grief counselors and therapists in Magnolia, TX

With a doctorate in developmental psychology, I bring both expertise and a down-to-earth approach to helping people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve called Texas home for three decades, where I enjoy family life, yoga, travel, and the challenge of keeping up with too many pets. I bring warmth, experience, and a touch of humor to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate growth and change with compassion and perspective.

Are you on the struggle bus and just can't seem to find your way? I help clients find their way by processing through anxiety, grief, or simply untangling emotions. I am a former high school counselor with 23 years experience working with teens and their families. In addition to my professional counseling experience, I compete in the dog show world and understand the unique needs of competitors. My approach is person centered counseling and I believe in joining clients on their journey towards healing. I specialize in offering a non-judgmental space that offers support and guidance to allow the client to process thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe that a good therapist should listen far more than they talk. Getting started on your therapeutic path can seem daunting! But, the first step is simply reaching out to set an appointment. Know that my clients are my priority and your healing is my passion. I will bring a sense of calm to your life along with a good dose of humor. Let's work together to help you make the changes you desire.

One of my priorities is to be open-minded. Everyone struggles with a combination of problems that are specific to them. In the same essence, every person's needs are unique and deserve specialized treatment that is best suited to them. My main areas of experience are with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression; however, I have experience in many different areas. I am committed to your journey and will help you reach your goals!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University (2009) and a Master's in School Counseling from Sam Houston State University (2012).

Like many clients, I learned at a young age that life could be difficult. I have lost many loved ones, including a parent and sibling, to illness, accident, and addiction. These experiences have given me empathy for others as they endure their trials.

I have a passion for creating a collaborative, supportive environment for personal growth and healing. I believe that seeking therapy is a profound act of self-respect and care, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly heard and valued. Together, we can navigate the challenges of life, uncovering clarity and direction in the midst of complexity. My approach is rooted in fostering a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere where your story can unfold, and your goals can take center stage.
